Notes on a recent sermon: Romans 8 and the Holy Spirit
5 Amazing Sources of Confidence:
- No Condmenation in Jesus (8:1-2)
- Holy Spirit within us (8:9-11; I Cor. 3:16; 6:18-20)
- Adopted by the Father (8:15-17)
- Justified and Glorified (8:18, 28-30)
- In Christ's Amazing Love (8:35-39
At the same time, we are called to be faithful:
- Walk by the Spirit, not flesh (8:4-5)
- Death to deeds of the body (8:12-13)
- Live in God without fear (8:15-16)
- Endure suffering with hope (8:18, 23-25)
- Conform to Christ's image (8:17, 29)
HOW do I stay confident in Christ when I fall so woefully short of these goals?
Here are a few things we know that help:
1) Grace creates a relationship: obedience chooses to live in it.
2) Faithfulness is about Lordship; no sinless perfection.
3) Struggle is expected in the Christian, not condemned.
4) God Gives His HOLY SPIRIT to Help Us in our Walk!
That last one is HUGE. Here are 8 things Romans 8 teaches that the Holy Spirit is doing. You do not have to explain them. But you must BELIEVE. And pray for these things.
- He Sets Us Free (8:1-2)
- He Dwells In Us (8:11)
- He Gives Life to our Mortal Bodies (8:11)
- He Helps us Defeat Sin (8:13)
- The Spirit Leads us (8:14)
- He Testifies with us (8:16)
- He Helps our weaknesses (8:26)
- The Spirit Interceded in prayer (8:26)
